Somehow went from toddler to a big kid
Hunter Jay turned 3 years old yesterday! I told him I was sad that he wouldn't stay little forever and he said, "I can't help it mom. I just keep growing and growing and growing!"
The weekend was full of fun birthday festivities. Saturday we went to my old doctor's office where they have a pond full of ducks and turtles. We had a great time feeding them. This is a good shot of the turtles if you can get past the garbage floating past.

It really is a pretty area. As soon as you throw bread in the ducks race over.

Then we headed over to Corky's for some barbecue. Hunter calls it Porky's which also seems appropriate. Charlotte was just happy to be included.
Here's is the very mature looking birthday boy.
After some great food, the waitress brought a complimentary birthday sundae for us all to share. I have NO idea why Hunter is making that face.
He dug right in and even tried both the cherries although he wasn't a big fan.
Sunday morning (actual birthday), breakfast in bed. Hunter always wakes up at 6:30 on the dot so we had balloons and cinnamon rolls ready and brought him breakfast in bed. He was pretty confused when we walked in singing but quickly caught on.
He got to put on as much frosting as he wanted and added more once he licked it all off. He was so excited he couldn't stand it and would spontaneously start laughing and say "This is so fun!".
For birthday dinner he enjoyed perfectly cooked steak, corn on the cob, zucchini, rolls with raspberry jam, and chocolate cupcakes for dessert. Then he got to open presents with Grandma and Grandpa Luke watching over webcam. This picture had the best expression. I love when he gets so excited before even knowing what it is.
Here is Charlotte looking very elegant and relaxed amidst all the birthday madness.
The night ended with Hunter staying up a whole hour late enjoying all his birthday toys. I can't believe how fast time flies, but it's sure been a fun ride.
Happy Birthday Hunter!
